Extrem dunkles Purpur mit lila und violetten Reflexen. Würziges Bouquet, Lakritze, schwarze Pfefferkörner, dunkle Edelhölzer und Schwarztee. Viel Konzentration im Gaumen zeigend, fleischige Tannine, eine deutliche Adstringenz, Vanillemark und Cassis. Auf den ersten Blick nicht besonders fein, also sucht man nach der Kraft und dem Potential und die ist einem Masse da, die an ganz grosse legendäre Clinet-Jahränge der 50er Jahre erinnert. (19/20). 12: Auf Clinet degustiert. Eine richtige Pomerolbombe, die ber auch Charme zeigt in seinem Power. (19/20). 18: Bei einem Lunch auf Clinet. Einer der reichsten, aber auch konzentriertesten Pomerol in diesem Jahrgang.

Deep garnet colored, the 2009 Clinet is showing quite a lot of evolution on the nose with notes of new leather, fried spices and dried herbs over a core of dried mulberries and prunes with a touch of redcurrant jelly. Full-bodied and decadently fruited with loads of mature, savory layers, it has a chewy texture and finishes on a dried herbs note.

Aromas of dark fruits, hazelnut and dark chocolate, follow through to a full body, with velvety tannins that are polished and refined. Beautiful depth of fruit to this. Best in 2018.
94 Wine Spectator
Very lush and exotic, boasting plum sauce, crushed fig, warm raspberry confiture and steeped black currant fruit all dripping over a racy but buried graphite spine. The long, dark finish has plenty of stuffing for the long haul. Really beautifully rendered. Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc. Best from 2015 through 2034. 3,750 cases made. –JM

Producer
Château Clinet
Château Clinet continues to soar to the top of the prestigious Pomerol estates, making one of the most sought-after wines coming from this region today. The first traces of viticulture on this fine gravelly clay soil dates back to the 17th century, however, after centuries of successive owners, the Laborde family has now owned Château Clinet for almost two decades. Jean-Louis Laborde bought the property in 1998, today, his young and motivated son, Ronan runs the château. Upon the best parcels of the gravel terraces in Gunz, the 11-hectare vineyard produces the best Merlot in the world. Famous cult-wine oenologist, Michel Rolland has provided consultancy input for over 10 years, producing high-standard Grand Cru wines vintage after vintage. Ronan even established innovative eco-friendly farming and vinification methods to further show respect for his terroir. Bottled with neither fining nor filtration, their wines are first matured in 100% new oak for over five years. The château continues to craft five-star wines, the Grand Vin, Clinet is an impressive ripe and full-bodied red. While Ronan by Clinet is an excellent example of Ronan’s entrepreneurship. Ronan by Clinet was made to present an approachable wine that can have a wide appeal, as well as the ability to carry the quality guarantee of a Château Clinet wine.
